Sorry Nicanary, I only have the name of the gentleman that built this car, so suspect it's a one-off (though not 100% sure), so suspect it's not a Gryphon.

The Puzzle image was taken form a magazine, but that same article does also appear on-line, but it will take a lot of searching I fear!

No, a much more obscure magazine that no longer exists.

No, not 100% certain, but it's from the early 1970s I believe.

Interesting - a Clubmans Formula car that isn't powered by Ford or BMC.

Rootes Group engine?
